From the Manufacturer

ZoloWear has been bringing mothers and babies together, beautifully, since 2001. Their award-winning high fashion baby slings are proudly made in the USA. ZoloWear slings adjust to at least six comfortable carrying positions and are a great value, safely supporting babies from 4 to 40 lbs., preemie to preschooler. Why choose a ring sling? Ring slings are more adjustable than pouches. This means that you can easily wear your infant in the popular upright, or tummy-to-tummy hold, which can be difficult to achieve in a pouch because young babies who cannot hold themselves upright tend to squish down into the pocket of the pouch. With a ring sling, the top rail can be tightened to support a young baby in a vertical position, whereas a pouch often cannot achieve a snug enough fit. A baby worn high and snug results in your being able to be hands-free and comfortable. When baby is worn too low or hangs away from you due to lack of adjustability with the top rail, this causes back discomfort. Ring slings also provide cover for discreet breastfeeding. Because the top rail on a ring sling can be let out significantly, it is easier to get a perfect position for breastfeeding in a ring sling. Features & Benefits: Totally unpadded; Infinitely adjustable for a perfect fit, which means it can be worn by more than one caretaker; Easy to get baby high and tight - including the tummy-to-tummy hold; Breastfeeding friendly = Discreet breastfeeding; Perfect for preemie to preschooler; Generous zip pocket on luxurious open tail; Fabric is cool 97% cotton/3% stretch sateen/100% fabulous; Includes FREE instructional DVD. See below for a size chart so you are sure to get just the right fit.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful great for descreet breastfeeding!, March 30, 2009

This review is from: Zolowear Cotton Baby Sling Solstice, Large (Baby Product)

I wanted a sling in which I could be breastfeeding discretely; sling which would be comfy for me & for my baby;which would match pretty much of everything I would wear; which is not bulky ( that will fit in my diaper bag) --- and everything I was looking for, I got in this sling: pretty print (I've got lots of compliments from people because of that print); east to nurse the baby in it & do my house chores, shop all at once! It doesn't hurt my back even after a long period of time wearing my baby. I got sling in size L, even though I needed size M : I like the longer tail of the sling - it's like an accessory to my outfit. The video instructions are wonderful - they are the key to successful baby wearing : Watch them couple of times before you wear your sling - that will be easier for you and for your baby
My baby loves being in it - it instantly settles her down if she is overstimulated by surroundings. if she can't fall asleep, I put her in the sling, walk with her in the sling for 5-10 min - and she is hardly asleep ; it is easy to take sling off with the sleeping baby in it - just a little bit of practice!
I find that easier to use sling rather then use stroller: she sleeps better in the sling then in the stroller;both of your hand are free!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Quality, Informative DVD, March 25, 2011

This review is from: Zolowear Cotton Baby Sling Chai, Medium (Baby Product)

I got this sling because my other carrier (Pikolo brand) is a little too much work to get the baby into for around the house. It's well made and of good quality. The DVD really is very informative. It's a little tricky to use, but as someone else pointed out in a review, you really should watch the DVD multiple times to understand how to use the product. I'm still figuring it out, but I'm getting better everytime I use it. I imagine what makes it a little more challenging is the ring component. On one hand it's slightly harder to use, on the other, the fit is personalized so more supportive and in theory safer.

Though my newborn at first resisted it. The easy access to breastfeeding (even in the tummy-to-tummy position)and movement from me being able to do other things, soothes him to sleep. He's knocked out sleeping in the sling as I type this. I'm using both hands!

If used correctly (spread out shoulder area and the back part of the sling) the weight is more evenly distributed and not entirely uncomfortable. The DVD recommends you switch sides periodically to even this out.

Sizing. I researched sizing on another website and based on height & weight. I thought I should be a medium. Then I got the packaging and it said I should have been an X-small which honestly may have been too small......So far the medium is fine. It lookes like it does in the picture above.

Here's their sizing info:
shoulder to mid-hip (diagonally measured)(see video)
less than 27" X-small
27-28 small
29-30 Med
31-32 Large
33+ X-Large

This review is from: Zolowear Cotton Baby Sling Gigi, Medium (Baby Product)

Love this sling. High quality fabric. Pleats are comfy on your shoulder. My only complaint would be that the fabric isn't as stretchy as I like, which is a minor drawback compared to all the benefits.
